  • Patent number: 12184475
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed toward systems and methods for identifying contributing factors associated with a metric anomaly. One or more embodiments described herein identify contributing factors based on statistical analysis and machine learning. Additionally, one or more embodiments identify sub-factors associated with each contributing factor. In one or more embodiments, the systems and methods provide an interactive display that enables a user to select a particular anomaly for further analysis. The interactive display also provides additional interfaces through which the user can view informational displays that illustrate the factors that caused the particular anomaly and how those factors correlate with each other.

  • Patent number: 11941922
    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments relate to a computer-based system and/or method which automatically, e.g. with minimal, or entirely without, human intervention, identifies, distinguishes, disambiguates or otherwise differentiates among multiple configurable bicycles based on the data reported to the system from the bicycle's data-reporting components, such that the data reported by those components may be associated with a particular bicycle for real-time and/or later review, analysis, etc. More particularly, where one or more data reporting components of a bicycle may change, the disclosed embodiments enable a data gathering system/service to identify, distinguish, disambiguate or otherwise differentiate among multiple bicycles which may use, or have used, one or more of the same components so as to associate the reported data, such as from a particular ride, with the correct bicycle configuration for real-time and/or later review and/or analysis.

  • Publication number: 20230348007
    Abstract: Example bicycle suspension components and analysis devices are described herein. An example suspension component includes a first tube and a second tube configured in a telescopic arrangement having an interior space, a spring system including a pneumatic chamber containing a mass of a gas forming a pneumatic spring configured to resist compression of the telescopic arrangement, and a suspension component analysis (SCA) device. The SCA device may include a pressure sensor to detect a pressure of the gas in the pneumatic chamber and provide a signal indicative of the detected pressure and circuitry configured to receive the signal. The circuitry and the pressure sensor are at least partially disposed in the interior space.

  • Publication number: 20230146863
    Abstract: A system and method for implementing a scale based order assignment and fulfillment system is provided. The method includes receiving (via a user interface from a user) a request for an item from an entity. A database comprising links between zones is scanned and in response, a unit is assigned to a zone associated with a location of the item. The assignment results in the transmission of digital instructions to an electronic scale apparatus located within the zone and associated with the unit. The digital instructions executed for activating the electronic scale apparatus to enable a user to dynamically fulfil the request for the first item.

  • Patent number: 10494202
    Abstract: A gas can lifting assembly for lifting and tilting a gas can includes a cart that may be rolled along the support surface. A lift is coupled to the cart and the lift is selectively manipulated. A basket is pivotally coupled to the lift such that the lift selectively lifts and lowers the basket. A gas can is selectively positioned in the basket. In this way the gas can may be selectively lifted and lowered for refueling a machine. The basket is selectively positioned in a first position having the basket being horizontally oriented. Additionally, the basket is selectively positioned in a second position having the basket being tilted to pour gasoline from the gas can.
